Description
Summary:	Afro-Colombian communities in the South Pacific, such as those that have settled in the Naya river basin -the natural border between the departments of Cauca and Valle del Cauca- have undertaken a series of struggles for recognition of the collective character of their communities and for the demand for their political participation in decision-making spaces at the local, regional and national levels. In these efforts, the role played by black women has been limited by the patriarchal structures of domination that have permeated the thinking and cultural traditions of the Afro-Colombian people since the Colony; promoting the mobilization of Afro women to subjectivize themselves politically, that is, to make themselves visible as subjects in the spaces of political deliberation and decision. However, this process has developed, most of the time, under a dichotomous modality: either they politicize their traditional roles or they distance themselves from them. Seeking to reverse this scheme, the AINÍ Women's Association -an organizational process of black women with a presence in Bajo Naya- intends, with its subjective proposal, to transcend the antagonism between the political and domestic roles of African women in order to find a way that recognizes the importance of both in the defense of Afro-Colombian territory and culture. Thus, the purpose of this research is to understand the proposal of political subjectivation that AINÍ Women have in the light of the political theory of Hannah Arendt, German philosopher who focused her attention on highlighting the moral connotations of appearing in the human world, that is, of being politically subjectivated. The concepts of "political judgement", "political imagination" and "political singularization" will be taken as a reference for this purpose. These concepts make it possible to understand the scope of this theory in the social practices of black women in the Naya river basin.
